What is the new learning?
Genogram is a motivating tool in achieving success in life and understanding of who really I am. I am now confident to say to the world that I Melchor Castro Daclan, I am who I am and I am unique person.
Several of the information that I got are impressive such as being nationalistic and patriotic in the country, many of my ancestors where serving valiantly in the Philippines Army, most especially during WWII.
I am also humbled and flattered when my poor great grandfather Jose Copleros Dionson was labeled as a GENIUS.
What is the relation to what I already know?
I am very happy to know of the noble example of my ancestors it is building my personality and to be courageous in facing all my trials and difficulties in life. I know that all those challenges can help to become a better person, each of those items are important and require for us to know how to understand our people.
If we want to lead as the Savior did, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles says, we must realize that before we can build anything, we must build people.
What have I done, am doing, will be doing for this topic?
I can say that I am on the process of becoming great! There are still a lot of songs that remains unsung within me. This genogram is my personal reflection, I am doing according to what I know but because of genogram I totally realized that there are still great things that I need to do in life.
The best is yet to come.
